Redundancy hit Paul just a week after he had celebrated his 50th birthday. He had spent the previous 10 years as Production Director of a large manufacturer. The parent company had sold the subsidiary company to a competitor that did not wish to retain the incumbent management team. Paul decided to work with a professional career consultant.
The Issues:
He hadn’t conducted a job search for more than 23 years because of his last three moves had all been initiated by headhunters
He had reached 50 but was far from ready for the scrap heap
And he was in a state of shock over his sudden redundancy.
